As the name sounds, it is a basic search-engine program that uses terminal to work with given data, search for specific keywords and apply different searching strategies.

Stage 1/6:

A very basic searching engine! Takes a list of space-separated string as the first input, and a string as the next input. It returns the position of that string in the list if it is present.

Run either main.kt with the input 1 or, Stage1.kt file

Stage 2/6:

In this stage, the program reads text lines from the standard input and processes single-word queries. The program outputs all lines that contain the string from the query.

Run main.kt and input 2, or Stage2.kt.
